Beiyang 1917

Everyone leaned forward to take a look, but of course, if this high ground is not occupied, the Red Army can place artillery positions here. If they are condescending, the artillery fire can not only threaten the edge of Ufa city in the northeast, but also directly control the area along the Ural River. , and threatened the White Guard positions on the eastern side of the highlands on the banks of the Ural River

"What Rzhevsky said is quite right. The commander of the White Guards in Ufa is a smart man. This highland is very important for defending the southern positions of Ufa. If they don't occupy here first, then we put up the cannon and directly attack the enemy. The opponent is really cunning to be able to bombard the city of Ufa." Chief of Staff Ma Xin tapped the high tunnel on the map with his fingers.

The several cavalry division commanders and political commissars in the meeting room buzzed loudly, obviously heard what the commanders and the chief of staff said. The Ufa enemy on the opposite side is not simple.

"Comrade Commander, to the south is the winding and rugged Ural River, which lies south of Ufa City. It is too difficult for black people to cross the river. How about we go around the north and cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway? Although there are armored trains on the other side, if we go there in the dark The railway was blasted, and his armored train could not pass, so we took advantage of the gap and directly outflanked the flanks and rear of Ufa." Chabayev, the commander of the First Cavalry Division, obviously did not give up.

Several division commanders and political commissars in the conference room were discussing a lot, and apparently most of them disagreed with taking rash action tonight, for various reasons

"In this way, the troops are divided into two groups. The north route goes to a cavalry division. After eating and drinking in the first half of the night, they set off in the second half of the night. In the early morning, when the enemy is most sleepy, the cavalry division launched an attack, cut off the railway, and then crossed the railway. Copy to the rear of Ufa's northwest defense line, maybe the city of Ufa is empty, and it is possible to take down a charge." Tukhachevsky pondered for a while, and some plans in his heart raised his head and said firmly

"If the troops are divided into two groups, don't we go to three cavalry divisions on the south route? Didn't it mean that it is difficult to cross the river in the dark?" Ma Xin, the chief of staff of the group and the commander of the second group army, asked doubtfully.

"Go to the south to two cavalry divisions to detour, walk [-] kilometers further south along the Ural River, and cross the river at the place where Belozovka is right here. Look at the map. There should be an abandoned ferry. You should find a way to get it from there. Order a boat or directly cross the river. The river is not too wide. Send engineers to cross the river first, then pull the wires and lead the horses to cross the river. Then set off in the middle of the night, and cross the river at dawn." Tukhachevsky said fiercely in other places Lozovka thumped this position

The division commanders and political commissars of several cavalry divisions looked at each other, obviously a little flustered by the bold idea of ​​their own group commander. From the map, the cavalry division on the north road was obviously used as a bait. Isn’t it a railway line patrolled by armored trains? It is so easy to destroy and sneak over, and the distance is not close. To avoid the eyes and ears of the defenders on the northwestern defense line of Ufa, at least have to go west to north for more than five to ten kilometers. The situation there is fundamentally different. I haven't reconnaissance clearly yet, if the White Guards tied their pockets and waited for the cavalry division to drill, it would be fatal

In contrast, the detour troops on the south route can take advantage of the enemy's loopholes. What they have to deal with is the Ural River. Since they don't require forced crossing in the middle of the night, what are they afraid of after dawn? Find a suitable place to cross the river, at least it will not be like jumping into the mouth of a tiger like the detour troops on the North Road. In case the enemy is alarmed, not only the armored patrol train from the northwest direction of Kazan can come to support, but also the enemy in Ufa City It is also easy to turn around and attack northward.

"Chief of Staff, Comrade Deputy Commander, I've made up my mind. Let's use this two-way detour. Tomorrow morning, we will use artillery fire to suppress the enemies on the front line of defense to attract their attention. After the detour troops are in place, we will launch a general attack and take it all at once. How about going down to Ufa? Members of the Southern Group Front Military Committee voted." Encouraged by his bold and roundabout decision, Tukhachevsky looked at Maxin and Rzhev in front of him with a confident and slightly fanatical light in his eyes. Sky, as for political commissar Yankov Gayi, he is his hard-core partner, and he will never easily stand up against him

Having said that, Tukhachevsky first raised his hand, and then his political commissar Yankov also raised his hand. Ma Xin looked at the group commander and political commissar who had already raised their hands. Ma Xin's partner here Kharchenko, the political commissar of the Second Army, was looking at his eyes, and Heveshin, the political commissar of the Fourth Army, was obviously waiting for his partner Rzhevsky to express his position first before deciding on his position

Unexpectedly, Chief of Staff Ma Xin hadn't raised his hand yet, but Rzhevski, the deputy commander of the Southern Group and the commander of the Fourth Army, raised his hand first, and said in a rough voice,

"I support the combat plan drawn up by Comrade Mikhail Nikolaevich, and I suggest that the detour troops on the southern route use three cavalry divisions instead of two, so that when they detour back to the enemy's rear from a long distance, they will be able to recover if there is a mistake. du li keep fighting and not be alone"

As soon as this guy raised his hand, his deputy Heveshin quickly raised his hand to express his agreement. Ma Xin scolded his mother in his stomach, and raised his hand in a hurry. Naturally, his political commissar Kharchenko was not far behind and also Then raised his hand

"Very good, comrades. After voting, all the members of the Southern Group's Front Military Committee unanimously approved the group command's operational plan for outflanking the enemy's rear in two routes. Comrades, the final victory must belong to us," Tukhachevsky said. When the eight generals, the commanders of the four cavalry divisions and the political commissar, heard the words "Victory must belong to us", they raised their arms and shouted in the same reflexive way:

"Ulla"

At the same time, in Ufa City, in the combat room of the headquarters of Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, a battle meeting was held in full swing.

In the evening, the citizens and representatives of engineers and soldiers who stayed in Ufa even held a small celebration parade on the square in front of the city gate to celebrate that the Ufa defenders repelled the first offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army in the afternoon and gave the enemy hit hard

Wang Geng sat at the top of the conference room. On the left was the general of the coalition army, his chief of staff Jiang Hongyu, his deputy chief of staff Wu Peifu, and his deputy Utsunomiya Taro. On the right was the general of the Ufa White Guards. In fact, only the former enemy of the Northwest Group commanded b. Pepelyaev, the former enemy commander of the Southeast Group Alexander Petrovich, and Petrovich's chief of staff Sergey were also specially invited by Wang Geng to attend the meeting

As for the other division commanders of the White Guards, they still don't know that the coalition forces have moved their headquarters to the city of Ufa. They only know that the behind-the-scenes command of this battle is the people of the coalition forces headquarters. Mystery, secrecy is necessary. Military restricted areas were set up around Wu Peifu's artillery positions, and they were surrounded by curtains to isolate the citizens. Before that, there were not only guard posts in the vicinity, but also teams of patrols and pickets. Birds could not fly in.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, today my northwest line of defense has completely disabled an infantry division attacked by the Soviet Red Army. Of course, I order you to stop shooting at the wounded soldiers on the other side and let the medical soldiers and stretcher carriages on the other side rescue them." Go back and keep my personal opinion. You must know that the Soviet Red Army has blood from our White Guard soldiers and their families. This is a life-and-death struggle. The method of blood and fire is not a unilateral patent of the Bolsheviks.”

b. After Pepelyaev read out the congratulatory message from Kolchak, the nominal all-Russian interim supreme consul Kolchak, he was half bragging and half complaining

Wang Geng smiled and did not speak when he heard the words, but Utsunomiya Taro, the deputy chief of staff and commander of the Japanese Third Army, proudly pointed out:

"B. Your Excellency Pepelyaev, you may have to call your Excellency the Prime Minister. Please believe that the relationship between our Commander-in-Chief and the wounded Soviet Russian Red Army is no deeper than yours, both public and private.

Let me tell you the truth, compared to the 3000 more dead bodies that can be discarded at any time, the more than 3000 Red Army wounded and sick who need care and care, howling ghosts and howling wolves. The commander of the Red Army's southern group and the 10,000+ Soviet Russian Red Army in front of the position caused a lot of burden, pressure and troubles."

"Uh, so I was taught like this." B Pepelyaev suddenly realized, exchanged glances with Alexander Petrovich, who was also astonished, and nodded hurriedly
