Beiyang 1917

Chapter 288 Teamwork or Arbitrary?

"The White Guards' fighting will is not strong. This afternoon we concentrated all the heavy machine guns of the Fourth Army. Once the 120 horse-drawn machine guns rushed, the White Guards on the other side's first line of defense would panic and retreat along the trenches. If it weren't for the opponent's The artillery fire is too fierce, if you follow up with another cavalry division, you will be able to take down the opponent's first-line position this afternoon." Katyu Shasha, the commander of the Uralsk Infantry Division of the Fourth Army, couldn't help it.

"Our casualties in the north today are quite heavy. Let me see. Tomorrow, we must concentrate all the artillery and destroy the 100 heavy machine guns on the opponent's front line before charging." A division commander of the First Army in the crowd suggested road

"There are at least three artillery companies on the White Guard's line of defense in the southeast. Today they are all firing mountain cannons. If there are the same number of field artillery, then there are six artillery companies on the southeast line of defense. Our Fourth Army is full of only ten. An artillery company, and the number of heavy machine guns is not as large as that of the opponent. In my opinion, the artillery of the cluster should be strengthened by at least five or more artillery companies to the direction of the Fourth Army."

The speaker was the political commissar of the Fourth Army, Rzhevski's partner, Hevshin, the political commissar of the Fourth Army, and it was he who insisted on ordering the retreat in the afternoon to keep the casualties of the five heavy machine gun battalions within a certain range.

"If you want me to say, whether it's artillery coverage or machine gun confrontation, if the horse-drawn machine guns responsible for covering the infantry can't withstand the opponent's artillery fire like in the afternoon and retreat without authorization, this battle can't be fought well. I suggest that the unauthorized Responsibility of the retreating heavy machine gun battalion commander" was speaking by a division commander of the First Army

"The political commissar of the heavy machine gun battalion has been ordered by the commander to shoot the battalion commander, and he died on the spot during the attack." Yankov Gayi, the political commissar of the Southern Group, became a little gloomy and said in a low voice.

If it was the political commissar who died in battle and the battalion commander who retreated, it would be better to say that now the battalion commander was killed by the artillery of the White Guards, but the political commissar was frightened and turned around and fled back. , this is of course the crime of beheading

"In my opinion, our impact distance is too long, which is equivalent to being the enemy's torches in the wilderness. The soldiers have been out of breath for a long time after running such a 2000-meter distance. There are barbed wire obstacles and dense marks Qin firepower, how do you charge up, the closer the attack position is to the opponent's position, the better, so that the time of exposure to the opponent's firepower is shorter when attacking, the casualties are less, and it saves energy." The speaker was from the Second Army A teacher, before he finished speaking, aroused a buzz of approval in the field

"It's easy to say. Our artillery company hasn't arrived at all this afternoon. Under such circumstances, how can we advance the starting position to the point where the White Guards can't see it? The bare fields within a few kilometers in front of the opponent's position are unobstructed. The starting position can be built under the opponent's nose?" A division commander of the First Army said unconvinced

"Hasn't the artillery already arrived? The entire cluster has almost 200 cannons. According to me, tomorrow we will concentrate all the artillery fire and directly blast all the opponent's machine gun fire points, and then the three divisions will go forward at the same time. Concentrating all the heavy machine guns for cover will definitely defeat this enemy." Belovsky, the commander of the 1th Division of the 15st Army Infantry to help the White Bandit Army hiding in the trenches

Listening to the division commanders talking about their ideas and complaining, the group commander Tukhachev didn't say anything, but he was thinking about how to fight. The commander of the garrison in Ufa heard that it was Kolcha. The Cabinet Prime Minister B. Pepeliayev in Croatia, although he is a capable talent, is not like a master with such great ability. Regardless of whether he wins or loses this afternoon's battle, at least the White Guards on the ground fought very well. A little confidence and confidence, what is the reason for this?

"In all fairness, the White Guards in Ufa fought very calmly today, unlike before when we charged with all our strength regardless of casualties, and the opponent's line was easily shaken. Today they seem to be reassured, or something, even firing artillery They are much more accurate than before. Could it be that they are so confident because of the reinforcements from the east of the Ural Mountains? Or is Kolchak from the direction of Kazan back?"

Ma Xin, chief of staff of the group and commander of the second group army, seemed to be asking questions, and also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Comrade Commander asked me to say that the White Guards took advantage in the afternoon, so we must relax at night. If we go to sneak attack at night, it will definitely be beyond the opponent's expectations. Then we will be able to win a big victory and avenge the sacrificed comrades." Stand up and speak Comrade Chapayev, commander of the cavalry division

This tiger general witnessed the defeat of the 24th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army in the afternoon. The division commander was seriously injured and the political commissar died. These two are his old brothers who have a very good relationship. So one bite, so a suggestion to steal camp at night

"One afternoon, none of these prisoners were caught?" Tukhachev, the group commander, asked abruptly.

The division commanders and political commissars in the room were stunned by Tukhachevsky's sudden question. Nima, they didn't rush into the enemy's trench at all. How can they catch prisoners?If the commander of the White Guards hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey and let the Red Army's medical soldiers and stretcher teams go up to rescue the wounded, the Red Army wounded who were left by the barbed wire might have become prisoners of others.

"Comrade Mikhail Nikolaevich, the opponent's front line is [-] kilometers long. Our division's scout cavalry ran around the front line and couldn't catch a chance to infiltrate it. Otherwise, we will wait until night." Then send someone to climb over and see if you can grab two tongues from the other side's trench." The cavalry commander Chapayev's face was a little red. In fact, the scout cavalry he sent went all the way north, as far as the Siberian railway line. He was shot back by the heavy machine gun on the armored train patrolling the railway, and several brave Cossack boys were killed or injured.

"The commanders of the cavalry divisions stay, and the rest of the division commanders and political commissars go back to organize the troops first, set up the camps and arrange the security. If anyone loses the chain and lets the White Guards steal the camp and touch the post at night, don't blame me for not explaining clearly to everyone in advance. , whose division is in charge, if something goes wrong, the division commander and political commissars will all be dismissed to become soldiers, and we will charge forward tomorrow."

Group Commander Tukhachev discussed with the political commissar and chief of staff in a low voice, but he ignored the Deputy Commander Rzhevsky, and stood up and said firmly.

The political commissars of the division commanders of the infantry divisions of the First and Second Army stood up noisily and walked out of the room one after another. The political commissars of the division commanders of the Fourth Army also stood up but did not move, but their eyes were consulting their own army commander Le Gé the meaning of Fowski

The deputy commander of the group, Rzhevski, waved his hand, and the division commanders and political commissars of the Fourth Army followed the crowd out of the room. For a while, the room became much more spacious and bright, while the division commanders and political commissars of the remaining four cavalry divisions Sitting together, looking eagerly at the group commander in front of him, ready to accept combat missions

After the orderly soldiers exited the room and closed the door under the signal of political commissar Yankov Gayi, Tukhachevsky walked to the one-fifty-thousandth military map of the Ufa region hanging on the wall, and looked at it with a lantern. Half a day later, he turned around and said,

"The past is over, the key is to fight the following battle well, Comrade Rzhevsky, I believe that the three armies of the Southern Group can unite and take down Ufa, what do you think?" Tuhache As the husband spoke, he forced a smile

"The Fourth Army and myself resolutely obey the leadership of the Military Committee of the Southern Group Front, Comrade Mikhail Nikolaevich." Rzhevsky stood up and reluctantly saluted. It's not the time to fight in the nest, and besides, there are 16 people in the Southern Group. The Fourth Army is no match for the First Army regardless of its strength and firepower. Internal strife is absolutely unacceptable.

"Okay, let me tell you what I think." Tukhachevsky turned back and walked to the combat map. On the one-fifty-thousandth map, the staff of the headquarters had marked the situation of the enemy and the enemy on both sides. Two arcs The shaped blue line of defense is one in the northwest and the other in the southeast, like a bat with spread wings, guarding the southwest half of Ufa's outskirts. 22 kilometers wide
